With breasts bound by compression, these poems explore the space that binds the body into itself, stuck in unrelenting forces of binary politics and violence. Each poem is a stitching and restitching of the self-an examination of trans-survival. This is a courageous collection-an anthem of Queer resilience and a reminder of the healing powers of community care"--
